A/N: Enjoy some fluff before we get into the deeper plot. Also, my beta didn't have the chance to to read this before I posted it, so there may be a few mistakes. I also had to post it from my phone so the line breaks aren't appearing correctly. Apologies!

As well, reviews will he answered at the end of chapters. Thank you for all your favourites and follows!

The villain was impossibly fast. At first, they ran, but when they noticed they were being chased, began using their Quirk and blew gusts of winds from their mouth to escape faster.

Todoroki could always try and match the villain's speed by using his ice to propel himself forward, but he decided against it. There were too many civilians and buildings around. He couldn't risk destruction to get the villain. So, as much as he didn't like leaving her Midoriya alone to fight, he knew he could trust him to do the job well and remained in place. He made ice barriers appear in front of the villain all along the visible road in hopes they would stop them in their tracks. Unfortunately, the wind villain seemed to take a forceful blow when hitting the ice, but just blew over it and continued along their path, the stolen purse in their grasp.

Instead, Todoroki chose to check on the couple. The man had been knocked out from a blow to the concrete, and more than likely had a concussion. He quickly dialed emergency services as he picked the man up and placed him against the building and out of the way, then asked interested pedestrians to please step back and give the injured some space. He then created small two feet tall ice barricades around the couple as he checked the man's pulse and breathing. He then turned to the woman, who had a black eye and a bruise, but was otherwise just shocked and disoriented. Todoroki made a small chunk of ice on his hand and held it against the woman's face to numb the pain. "Are you alright, ma'am? Are you able to see and speak clearly?"

Midoriya was doing well with pursuing the villain. He used the ice walls as a platform to kick off of and chase them more effectively. He was gaining on the villain, but he noticed the lack of ice walls as they became further away from Todoroki. He pushed One For All up to fifteen percent and used the burst of speed to catch up to the villain at the expense of making his legs ache. With one final kick, he resisted the wind being blown at him, reached out and grasped the villain's hood, stopping them completely in their tracks. The villain blew wind out at random, trying to get away, but despite his exhaustion, Midoriya was not letting go.

The police arrived and arrested the criminal. Midoriya had rushed over to the woman and returned her purse, smiling when he saw the ice she held over her eye. She admitted that she didn't even have any money in the purse, that her boyfriend had his wallet in his back pocket, but Midoriya shakes his head. "Stealing anything is a crime, miss, but injuring others and running away isn't right, either. I hope you and your boyfriend get better soon." The man had woken up and thanked Midoriya and Todoroki as much as he could, but he fumbled over his words and appeared confused and dizzy, so he was taken to the hospital. The police demanded for Midoriya's and Todoroki's hero licenses, and the duo were happy to show them. After some praise from the police, the two retrieved their groceries, only to see Midoriya's bag full of the chips and medicine was a disgusting, purple mess.

Midoriya wasn't going to let Uraraka down, and he certainly wasn't returning without medicine for Mineta. "He may be a pervert, Todoroki-kun, but he's still our friend and classmate." He advised him after seeing his friend's disappointing look. It didn't take long to return to the store and buy the items yet again - Todoroki offered to pay, but the green curls shook from side to side in refusal and paid themselves.

They repeated the same motions as earlier. Midoriya had shivered again and eyed him, expectant but not demanding, and Todoroki obliged without a problem. Now his friend wasn't cold, and there wasn't a villain in sight. Todoroki was nervous, but pleased. After the initial shock, he thought it felt nice. "Hey, Todoroki-kun..." Midoriya began, his voice shy but still cheerful-sounding. "That was really smart, what you did. Staying with the woman and putting ice on her eye."

Todoroki couldn't help but offer a small smile, looking down at the freckled face he was starting to appreciate more and more. "Thanks. I don't know what you did with your Quirk, but I know you did some sort of speedup." He paused for a moment, going to ask more about how he did it, but realized something. "Midoriya-kun, what is your Quirk even called? I don't remember you ever mentioning it." Todoroki's tone was oddly sceptical and Midoriya froze, his legs unmoving.

"U-um, that's... It's um, a bit complicated, you see, i-it's called... n-nothing! I don't have a n-name for it!" He exclaimed suddenly, stammering, and Todoroki didn't buy a word. Annoyed, the fire and ice user sighed, wishing he could let go of the shorter teen to show he was mad with being lied to, but he couldn't bring himself to let him be cold again.

Someday, Todoroki-kun... Hopefully, someday I can tell you…

"What took you two so long?" A voice startled the pair, and they then realized that Hagakure was directly in front of them. "And why are you in such rough shape!?" Her sleeves shaped into what could only be assumed to be arms crossing. Hagakure's yelling attracted Uraraka, who slinked along the ceiling. She seemed ill from using her Quirk, a streamer caught in her air, but her smile was nothing but positive. "Thanks, guys! What happened, though?" He expression shifted into concern as she saw Midoriya's flushed cheeks and shaken-up exterior. He also seemed to ever slightly limp as he walked.

"There was a villain." Todoroki said simply as he picked up Midoriya's bag, took out the medicine and handed it to him, then walked into the common room to lay down the snacks and drinks on one of the foldable tables. He was surprised to see the large assortment of decorations set up. She really had gone all out for this party.

Meanwhile, both girls were forcing Midoriya for details. "Deku-kun! Don't go see Mineta-san yet! You can't just say you fought a villain and not tell us anything else!" Uraraka complained, and Hagakure nodded in agreement. Nobody would have known this if she didn't have a headband on today. Midoriya filled them in as quickly as possible, then excused himself politely. "I need to make sure Mineta-san gets his medicine!"

After hearing the commotion, it didn't take long for most of the class to be in Todoroki's face, demanding what happened. It seemed they were eager to hear about what it was like to deal with an actual villain. He kept their interest for a while, but there wasn't a whole lot to share. They saw the villain attack, he ran, they pursued. Todoroki's face flushed slightly when someone asked why they had taken so long to react to the attack, which didn't go unnoticed by some classmates. He was saved by the alarm going off on Uraraka's phone, signalling the beginning of the party.

Everyone dispersed and began partying - socializing, having snacks, and dancing. Mineta seemed well enough to come down and hang out. Midoriya told him to stay on the couch and to let him know if he needed anything. Iida rushed over and began to lecture Mineta on things he was allowed to do and things he wasn't, wanting to ensure his health. Before long, Todoroki found his quiet couch along the wall taken up but the freckled boy.

"Crazy day today, wasn't it Todoroki-kun?" He spoke up, bringing up his legs onto the cough to cross them comfortably. "We did great with that villain earlier. And Uraraka-san is happy we were able to help out, and Mineta-san seems to be getting better already. If you think about it, we saved four people today, didn't we?" Todoroki was then met with one of Midoriya's trademark brilliant smiles. He felt his defences begin to crumble.

Five, Todoroki thought to himself. I can say for sure that Midoriya has saved me from a life of bitterness and holding back. And today, he's made me see even more just how... How warm he can be. Even though I had to heat him up, he felt so warm. And he made me feel kind of warm, too.

He hesitated. "Yeah, it was nice." Todoroki said blankly, averting his eyes. Midoriya has been giving him strange feelings lately, and until he understood and accepted whatever they were, he wanted to suppress them as much as possible. They were making him think and act differently, which made him worry. If Midoriya could make Todoroki feel so warm, friendly, open… Was this a weakness? Did he need to hide this from his father? Did he need to stop being around Midoriya, who felt like a ray of sunshine, just so to protect him from all of his baggage?

Those glittering green eyes gazed at him for a moment, knowing something was wrong, but Midoriya sighed. He certainly wasn't going to get Todoroki to spill anything easily. And with whatever happened earlier, he had expected some sort of setback. Midoriya was as confused as could be, and he had no doubts that Todoroki wouldn't be far from the same.

"I'm sorry if I upset you, earlier, Todoroki-kun. If it's that bad, you can forget it ever happened." Midoriya fumbled with his fingers, nervous. "I don't want it to affect our friendship or anything."

"No! I, um, I liked it." Todoroki exclaimed quickly, surprised at himself for speaking so erratically. "I... It surprised me, but I don't want to forget. Don't worry about it, Midoriya-kun."

It was at that moment as he saw Midoriya's smile and dimples, surfaced with adorable freckles, Todoroki realized; it was going to be hard to restrain himself from getting entranced by Midoriya from now on.

And as Aoyama, fleeting as ever, passed by the smiling friends on his way to the vegetable tray, he smiled knowingly. That's going to turn into something very interesting. I just know it.
